Auto-bump Version after successful MCP self-build and reload
Where files are headingNew Cursor rule files have more rules about planning and tracking tasks, and fewer about code style.
Of the Cursor rule files we read, the 4,183 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.
In this repository16 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this roslyn-mcp-version-bump.mdc into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
5
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 8
When changing RoslynMcpServer itself and verifying with this same MCP (build/test/run via MCP tools, then use the new binary):
- Very specific: line 12
After a successful run_dotnet_build / dotnet test (and before or with dotnet publish + MCP reload):
- Very specific: line 15
Do not leave shippable behavior changes at the old version — agents check get_mcp_server_info against the number in csproj/docs.
- Very specific: line 26
Update CHANGELOG.md when user-visible tools/behavior change.
- Very specific: line 32
Prefer MCP run_dotnet_build / run_dotnet_test / run_dotnet_run on this repo’s workspace — same as app repos.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 6,668 Cursor rule files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

--- description: Auto-bump Version after successful MCP self-build and reload alwaysApply: true --- # Auto version bump (this MCP server) When changing **RoslynMcpServer itself** and verifying with **this same MCP** (build/test/run via MCP tools, then use the new binary): ## When to bump After a **successful** `run_dotnet_build` / `dotnet test` (and before or with `dotnet publish` + MCP reload): 1. Bump **patch** in `RoslynMcpServer.csproj`: `Version`, `AssemblyVersion`, `FileVersion` together (e.g. `1.0.14` → `1.0.15`, `1.0.14.0` → `1.0.15.0`). 2. Do **not** leave shippable behavior changes at the old version — agents check `get_mcp_server_info` against the number in csproj/docs. 3. Skip bump only for pure docs/typos/rules with **no** code or tool-behavior change. ## SemVer in this repo - **Patch** (`1.0.x`): fixes, tool UX, parsers, path resolve, logging — default for almost every ship. - **Minor** (`1.x.0`): new MCP tools or clearly additive public capabilities. - There is no `PackageVersion`: the product is not a NuGet package. Do not add one. ## After bump 1. Update `CHANGELOG.md` when user-visible tools/behavior change. README already links to it; update Reference there when the tool catalog changes. 2. Sync `AGENTS.md.sample` / expected version hints (`get_mcp_server_info` → new version). 3. Publish (`publish-and-verify.ps1` or `dotnet publish … -r win-x64`), reload MCP host, confirm **`get_mcp_server_info`** shows the new version. ## Dogfooding Prefer MCP `run_dotnet_build` / `run_dotnet_test` / `run_dotnet_run` on this repo’s workspace — same as app repos. Shell `dotnet` only if MCP is unavailable or for publish/reload scripts that are outside tool coverage. `publish-and-verify.ps1` stops leftover `RoslynMcpServer.exe` under this repo/publish (Cursor often keeps MCP alive after disconnect and locks publish DLLs). Pass `-SkipKill` to disable. Then reload MCP and confirm `get_mcp_server_info`.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
